TIKE STEPS TO
PROTEGTWATER
IN HIO GRANDE
Texas Lawmakers Urge
Coolidge to Name
। Commissioners.
MEXICO IS AGREED
Would Determine Right to
Irrigate From Bor-
der River.
Washington. D. C. Ajril 3.—The
first step towards conservation of the
waters of the Rio Grande and their
equitable division between the United
States and Mexico was taken today
when Senator Sheppard nnd Represen-
tative Garner introduced i ntbe Senate
and House respectively a resolution
calling for appointment by the Pres-
ident of three special commissioners to
study this question and report back to
Congress.
It is provided that one of the com-
missioners shall be an engineer ex-
perienced in irrigation work and that
the survey shall consider the territory
below Fort Quitman. $26000 being ap-
propriated for the expenses of these
evmmissioners.
Would Name (
The text of the resolutions follows:
“Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives that tne
President is hereby authorized to des-
ignate three special commissioners to
w-operate with representatives of the
L nited States and Mexico in a study
regarding the equitable use of the
waters of the Rio Grande below Fort
Quitman. Tex. with a view of their
proper utilization for irrigation and
other beneficial uses. One of the com-
missioners so appointed shall be an en-
gineer experienced in such work. Upon
completion of such study the results
shall be reported to Congress.”
The resolution was introduced at the
suggestion of C. H. Pease secretary of
the Lower Rio Grande Water Users'
Association. In urging such action.
Pease pointed out to sponsors of the
measure that there are now approxi-
mately 200000 acres of land in the
Rio Grande Valley under irrigation
and while this consumes practically
the entire normal flow of the river
that canals have been laid which
would serve 300.000 acres of land.
Must Reach Agreement.
“There is no existing legs' regula-
tions under which the water of the
Rio Grande enn be used for irrigation”
declared Pease.
“We are merely taking it despite a
treaty that docs not permit its use
by either the United States or Mex-
ico. and the development ha. gone
as far as it can without a definite
understanding as to the legal rights of
both nations. That is what should be
established without further ado. As it
stands there is nothing to prevent
Mexico taking much of this water be- '
fore it reaches the Rio Grande as 67
p»r cent comes from Mexican sources. 1
If we have a definite understanding. '

Doctor Gains Enmity
of Kids by Suggesting
Abolition of Vacation
Manchester Eng.. April 3. —
The niau mo*t unpopular with the
children of the Manchester area
today is Df. H. C. Mulholland
medical officer for the schools who
bos published the suggestion that
the health of the pupils would prob-
ably be better if vacations were
abolished.
He says he has very frequently
found that after the holidays the
children lost weight which was
due in many eases to unwise feed-
ing and insufficient reir.
Moreover measles chickeu pox
and whooping cough was certainly
worse in the period following va-
cation because the control of in-
fection was easier when the schools
were open.
and this can bo reached for Mexico

missioners we can go ahead with the
improvement nnd a million acres per-
haps more can be brought under irri-
gation.

TO SUPPORT DAVIS
Kanus Democrats Instructed to Vote
for Governor Instead of McAdoo.
Hutchinson. Kan.. April 3. The
Kansas delegation will go to the na-
tional Democratic convention support-
ing Governor Jonathan M. Davis as
first choice for the presidential nom-
ination. but is not bound to stick by
him longer than the majority deems
expedient.
Followers of William Gibbs McAdoo
who had been at odds with Davis’
presidential backers threw their sup-
port to the governor at the state con-
vention here yesterday on the favorite
son endorsement bringing unanimity
on this point. McAdoo .leaders de-
clared however the Ka»sas votes
would go for their candidate at New
York after Governor Davis had been
accorded the usual complimentary bal-
lots.
Jouctt Shouse chairman of the del-
egation. said it is well known that
four-fifths of the delegates chosen are
McAdoo supporters. He denied how-
ever. that there had been any agree-
ment among the delegates except to
fight for Govrnor Davis as long as he
showed strength.

American Women Reject Scotch
Designs So Popular in Paris
Plaids and Tartans Used
With Prolusion in French
Capital Do Not Strike
Taste of Fifth Avenue.
By AILEEN LAMONT.
Copyright by The Snn Antonio Light.
New York. April 3.—The Scotch in-
fluence which is so apparent in the
spring designs for dresses and hats
in Paris seems to have been Stopp?!
at the 12-milc limit. At least the
plaids and Tartan designs have not
gained a foothold on Fifth avenue
as yet.
Designs of the great Parisian dress-
makers in Scotch taffetas employing
wide sashes and huge bows with hang-
ing ends at the back arc undeniably
attractive but they have dot struck
the American taste. Perhaps how-
ever when the French designers fin 1
the Scotch motif does not bring in
the dollars the royalist sentiment i.i
the Fauburgs may revive enough to
provide the American taste with a
bit of bourbon influence.
So far as Paris is concerned the
use of the Scotch plaids is even more
widespread on hats than for frock'.
The milliners there seem to be of-
fering the larger shapes in headgear
to every customer hut this has not
affected the vogue of the cloche and
the tight turban. The milliners when
they find the cape line effects coldly
received always have a small hat iu
the other hand ready for presenta-
tion.
Bows on Small Hats.
On even the small huts large bows
are frequently seen. These however
extend upward rather than outward
and add height rather than width ro
the effect and to the profile. The
bows often are of double faced satin
ribbon in two shades. Among the
straw shapes the Bankok and picot
braids are equally popular for the
large cape line hats since they tend
to give an effect of lightness and
brown are favorite shades. For the
softness. Red. orange green and
brown are favorite shades. For the
smaller hats the Picot braid is chosen.
As for trimmings the ostrich who
sticks his head in the sand is a lucky
bird this season. For he will not
know what is beiug done with his
ravished wing and tail feathers. On
the small tight hats the plumes arc
many times arranged to give the ef-
fect of a Hussar’s busby. Aigrettes
are similarly posed so as not to detract
from the close narrow effect about
the face. On the bicornes and tri-
cornes however the feathers arc often
posed over one ear.
Ostrich Plume Dress Trimming.
Evening frocks also are trimmed
with ostrich plumes. The skirt of one
such black gown is almost covered
with shert flounces of ostrich feathers
running diagonally from left to right
which shade gradually from a deep
orange to a faint yellow and wend into
a cluster of long plumes'falling from
the right knee.
The skirts continue to grow shorter
in Paris nnd show a distinct tendency
to lift up at the front and droop at
the back. This perhaps may be due
to the prevailing pose of the French
mannequins which changes almost as
rapidly as the styles. At present the
attitude assumed by the models is
reminiscent of a person who has just
escaped a vicious thrust of an um-
brella aimed at the solar plexus.
